Are you uploading content to but it keeps getting muted or taken down? If you post regularly on the platform, you have probably experienced a few instances where you haven’t been able to stop Tiktok muting videos or completely removing them. This can be especially annoying if you have spent hours editing the video and syncing cuts to the beat of your music etc.
The main reason videos get muted or taken down from TikTok is copyright. If you upload a video with copyrighted music in the video without adding it through TikTok sounds the video is likely to get taken down.
In this article, we are going to show you how to upload these videos without TikTok muting videos or removing them due to copyright infringements.
Why is TikTok Muting Videos?
TikTok mutes videos for copyright reasons. If a song is copyrighted they legally have to remove the video.
Their systems will pick the song up in the background of your video and automatically remove the video. This will private the video on your profile.
TikTok does however have a massive library of songs you can use without copyright issues. As long as you are on a personal TikTok account you can utilise this massive library of your favorite artists.
You add these songs through the editor when uploading your video. If you add the songs to a 3rd party editing application beforehand they will get copyrighted when you upload.
However, there is one way to get around this and trick the system to upload without Tiktok muting videos due to copyrights.
Let’s take a look at the solution.
How To Stop TikTok Muting Videos or Removing Them
You can avoid getting your video taken down or stop TikTok muting videos by adding a song from the TikTok library when uploading the video. You then simply mute the song completely so it doesn’t interfere with your video.
We highly recommend adding the song that you are using in your edit, as this still gives credit to the correct artist.
This is a great strategy if you have spent hours creating the perfect edit to a song in a 3rd party editing software. Follow the steps below to upload your video:
- Open TikTok and click on the + icon to upload a new video
- Click on the upload button to upload the video from your camera roll
- Select the “Add sound” button at the top of the screen
- Choose the sound you want to use (preferably the one that matches the song you are using but ultimately it doesn’t matter).
- Click the down arrow to open more settings and scroll down to the volume settings and click on it
- Bring the Added Sound down to zero and click done
- Click Next
- Here you can add a description and hashtags to your video. Once you are ready, click on Post and your video will go live.
Using this strategy, your video should not get taken down for copyright or get muted.
Is It Better To Use TikTok Music?
For some videos, we would recommend using the TikTok music library for your video rather than adding music in a third-party editing software. Sounds are a massive feature in TikTok and help you get discovered when using trending sounds.
Using the sounds library allows you to avoid copyright problems as well as capitalise on current trends. Unless absolutely necessary to edit your video outside of TikTok, use the TikTok editor instead.
You may also want to edit the video to a specific song in your editing software, then sync and add the song via TikTok when uploading. This way you get the benefit of having an amazing high-quality video with full copyright on the content.
